Continuous Counsel™

An alternative to the billable hour.

Keep it going.

Reaching any goal takes consistent effort. Protecting your creative work is an ongoing practice, and you’re going to need support.

Continuous Counsel™ gives you immediate and direct access to your attorneys to handle those “just a quick question” inquiries and legal concerns that keep you up at night.

Members never have to worry about a big bill for a small question. Instead, responses to basic questions (which are among the most common legal advice we give) are included in your monthly membership fee. 

Members can schedule extended payments, never need to worry about organizing their legal documents, and receive a member-only Quarterly Review.

With Continuous Counsel, you’re always on our mind, and we always have your back.

Continuous Counsel™ gives you:

  • Priority availability for all projects.
    (Non-members join the waitlist.)

  • No-charge ​“quick questions” via email.
    (Non-members must schedule Attorney Q&A.)

  • No-charge review of inbound RFPs and NDAs.
    (Non-members must pay an hourly retainer.)

  • Reduced hourly fees of $350/hr.
    (Non-members pay $400/hr.)

  • Extended payment plans available.
    (Non-members pay in full up front.)

  • Quarterly Review with your attorney.

Continuous Counsel™ starts at $139/month, with a minimum commitment of 3 months.

Before joining, new clients must complete Loops and Leaps™ or a Project Consultation.

Because we have ongoing relationships with our Continuous Counsel clients, our end-of-year advice is based on a thorough and holistic understanding of your business. The Quarterly Review helps to maintain your ongoing business needs and spot and address challenges as — or before — they arise.

The Quarterly Review includes:

  • Review of intellectual property protections and contracts; 

  • Updates to website terms and conditions, privacy policy, and disclaimers; 

  • Maintenance of business entities, including any corporate compliance;

  • Review of financial systems, including the past year’s profit and loss and future budget projections;

  • Tax support in consultation with your CPA to maximize your tax opportunities;

  • Insurance support to review your insurance needs and keep you from being under-protected or from paying for unnecessary insurance coverage;

Add-Ons

Legal services are rarely one-and-done. Once the contract is signed, the business is formed, or the trademark is registered, you still need to take action periodically to make sure you don’t lose your rights. Continuous Counsel™ add-ons take care of these ongoing tasks so you can focus on creating.

  • Business

Your LLC or corporation is registered in at least one state, but may also be registered in states where you have offices or employees. Each state has differing maintenance and fee requirements. It’s easy to overlook these requirements and be taken by surprise to find your business is no longer in good standing. When you sign up for the Business add-on, Implement Legal acts as your registered agent, handles annual filings, and ensures ongoing compliance.
Fee: $49/month per state

  • Trademark

We will regularly scan the USPTO database for attempted registrations of new marks that conflict with your registered mark. Being aware of potential conflicts helps you develop a brand protection strategy and keep your brand strong.
Fee: $49/month per mark

  • Monthly Strategy Meetings

We will hold a specific time on the calendar each month to review open issues, plan a new launch, consider difficult decisions, confer with your bookkeeper, discuss your dreams — whatever you need, we’re here for you.
Fee: $149/month

Bulk Hours

Bulk hours give our clients a simple way to manage legal fees. Bulk hours are our time, purchased in advance at a discounted rate. Buy the hours you anticipate you will need and use them anytime. 

When could bulk hours work for you? If you know you have ongoing legal needs and want to schedule predictable payments over the year, you can buy bulk hours in advance to spread the anticipated costs. If you’ve just received a grant or other payment, consider allocating some of that funding to discounted legal fees with bulk hours.

Bulk hour packages start at 5-hour increments and can be used over a 12-month period. Additional discounts are applied with purchases over 25 hours per year.

For all services discussed above, government fees and legal filing fees are not included and will be invoiced to the client separately.
